Normal driving RWD automatic coupling to in case of slippage.
When they place the solenoid or whatever it is at the bottom of the front differential they didn't think about ground clearance.
It seems...
Versatility is one of the best qualities of the vans. It all depends on the use of your van.
Even if it is just to be a poser. I dream of a lot of adventures, but time, family, money....life, do not let me realize those. Time I spend building my van is time I spend on those dreams, even if they...
I am pretty pleased with Monstaliner. I went desert sand / black. Forget about stealth. I think I get more attention from the paint job than the lifted 4x4
Great shots of your trip. Thanks for sharing.
I-10 is not a scenic road. Living in Texas I run to the Rockies whenever I can.
I like your interior. Replacing the headliner bump with flat plywood has worked great for me, even with the rear AC.
U-Joint was selling the MG (ExpoVans) kit. I think you can get it directly.
Chris at U-join was developing his own coil kit, but I don't think he has released anything yet.
How dare you bring something like this to an Expediton forum. That is practical and even common sense.
I have more room that I’ll never need inside my van and I’m working really hard to justify a roof rack... with ladders, lights...soo exposexual (thanks for the new word)
After unloading a rear axle using straps and a A-frame ladder and almost killing my neighbor, I bought a Harbor freight 1-ton crane before I got the front Axle.
Not when they are teens. One of my daughters loves it, the other gets upset and tries to hide every time. Once I pick her up from dance practice. My other daughter was already with me, we picked a mariachi station and showed up blasting the music. We though it was funny. My other daughter...
I had a 200 E150 that I used for ski trips (once or twice a year, I live in Houston), road trips and trails. Not really a heavy usage on snow, but I installed a factory 9.75" (you may have 8.8) LSD differential and with good tires (BTG AT and later Cooper AT3) I never had any issues. With...
I love this build. Thanks for the updates.
I was able to get the no-screen policy for a while. Once they are in their teens it gets harder.
We were in the Gunnison area this Christmas too. Beautiful area.
You either find very cheap Transits or very expensive E350s.
Transit is a better vehicle IMO but converting it to 4x4 will not be cheap. I just come back from our ski trip to CO and our 4x4 E350 5.4l did great. As long as you let it rev-up on the mountain passes it did well. 85 mph was no...
After a week in Crested Butte, CO I love my Wild Peak AT3Ws. Only used 4x4 getting out of a very steep driveway and when hitting forest roads.
On my 2000 E150 5.4l I used Moog CC880 with Bilsteins specified for E350 RVs and liked them very much. More info, including part #s here: Suspension...
They are Carr Super Hoops. Short on driver and passenger and long on the barn door. I do like them and help a lot climbing on board. They do flex a little bit as they just bolt on the body, not on the frame. I have two battery boxes to install under the barn doors and I'l have to modify...
Back from the Christmas trip. Houston, TX to Crested Butte, Co. 2500+ Miles. Average mpg 10.4 at a fast clip.
Modifications evaluation:
* Tires: I love them! these Falken AT3W are awesome. Not noisy on the highway and great performance on the snow.The house we rented had a very steep driveway...
